Fanon's Three Stages Related To The Indigenous People Of Chiapas

formalizing. Throughout history the colonizers of Mexico were more
technologically advanced than the natives. The Europeans had guns, cannons and
massive ships. Not only did these possessions enable them to have greater brute
force, but it took the white man to the level of the gods in the eyes of the
natives. The colonizers could easily take advantage of this reverence. Fanon
states "The effect consciously sought by colonialism was to drive into the
natives' heads the idea that if the settlers were to leave, they would at once
fall back into barbarism, degradation, and bestiality."(Fanon 211) The

Gray's "The Epitaph": An Analysis
... rot away for eternity.
Gray's style is very intriguing. He speaks of god and how there
are certain things around that are only now known as "frailties" of what
used to be life. Gray speaks out against the way this person was treated
in society which is symbolic of how people are being treated as a whole and
the hollowness and shallowness of people in the world. Now the person is

bounty, and his soul sincere" was how the man lived, and although his soul
was a true one, he was still a marked man, and now he is only marked with a
stone that protrudes from the ground known as The Epitaph.

witnessed while fighting. They portray visions of blood, fire, and smoke.

There's Nothing In The Middle Of The Road But Yellow Stripes And Dead Armadillos: Jim Hightower
... accomplish his goal of informing the general public about the
harsh realities of politics, Hightower realizes that he must keep his
language simple and familiar. His choice of vocabulary never includes any
large or rare words without explanation. This helps the reader to remain
focused on the message of the text, not trying to fumble through a
dictionary. His language also includes slang and foul words which help
illustrate opinions on certain topics. For example, "Liberal Media, my
ass" clearly shows his disbelief of the idea that the media is liberal
(125-130). Not only is this helpful to an uneducated reader by using
common slang language, but ...
